The boxes on eBay are illegal (they don't belong to the seller, so aren't theirs to sell). It's £9.50/month for an extra V box.

The last i heard was virign where selling boxes to customer and allowing them to sell them on but i think that the newer boxes certainly not what oyu will see on ebay

Nope, if you don't return your box, they will charge you £250, but you will never make this for a box on eBay and so you have yourself an expensive doorstep.
